Officers respond to hit-and-run crash

The Fairfield County Sheriff's Office responded to a hit-and-run crash Sunday on Lithopolis Road.

A homeowner reported her vehicle was damaged sometime during the night. Officers searched for the vehicle that went off the road and smashed into the parked car, but were unable to locate it at the time. After more than an hour of searching, an officer located fresh fluid and scrape marks on the road and into a driveway.

The officers found a vehicle that matched the debris found and was told by people at the home that the vehicle was towed there at the request of the driver, Mark Jameson. Officers questioned Jameson, who said he was going 65 mph when he "swerved to avoid a deer," according to the report.

He told police he lost control and hit the car, but gave no explanation as to why he did not contact law enforcement. Both Jameson and another person in the car said they were injured from the crash, but did not call for an ambulance. Jameson was cited for the crash.
